Owensboro Municipal Utilities celebrates Public Power Month in October, along with 2,000 other municipal power providers.
Public Power Month is an opportunity for OMU to celebrate you, our customers. As a resident of Owensboro, you live in a public power community. This means you own your electric, water, and telecommunications utility. You benefit from affordable and reliable services, a customer-focused philosophy, and a utility that cares about the overall well-being of your community.
Giveaways for Customers
OMU’s celebration will begin with a customer giveaway each Wednesday of the month – October 2, 9, 16, and 23. OMU customers visiting the Customer Service Center at 2070 Tamarack Road will receive a gift on these dates.
Customer Appreciation Lunch
On October 16, customers may join us at the Customer Service Center for a free boxed lunch served by our Volunteer Team, starting at 11 a.m. and continuing while supplies last.
Free Document Shredding
On October 23, free document shredding will be available from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Customer Service Center, so that OMU customers may safely dispose of their records and documents.
